New furniture!!!

Last night we picked up our new furniture! Merry early Christmas to me!! A new sectional L shaped couch and a recliner. Our first ever BRAND new, not hand-me-down furniture! I love the colors. It goes really well with the paint colors that Andreas chose. This collage shows the different angles I could shoot. And yes, my counters are messy, again!

cute or what?

Lia in the tubbie! How adorable is this pic!? I wish she lived closer to us so that I could eat those adorable cheeks!!! :-)

Seahawk Sunday

Andreas and I went to Seattle today to see the Seahawks play the Eagles at Qwest Field. We drove up early and tailgated with some of the guys that Andreas works with.


Andreas having a beer... WHO cares that it's only 10:30 in the morning???

Me in the midst of "tailgater's heaven."



This is us after quite a few beers. (Him more than me, of course!) I just have a stupid expression on my face and this was the second time we tried this shot!


Andreas on the way back to the car in front of Safeco Field. Somebody had too much to drink!

What a fun day to spend with my hubby!

Spook-tacular!

Halloween was especially fun this year. The girls are the perfect age for Trick or Treat! We had the neighbor kids (and parents, too...) over for food, fire and fun after running the neighborhood for loot! Here are the pic highlights from the evening...


Follow the Yellow Brick Road!


"Spiderella Sparkle"



Reminds me a of a scene from this movie I saw one time...

Treats for the boys and ghouls!

Andreas and one of his creepy masks.

Our grave yard... and yes that is a scary green van STILL sitting in my yard!

Our pumpkin Ralph.

The gang getting ready to Trick or Treat

Kaylin as Elmo. Her face was so sticky she had red fur stuck to it!

The group of kids, again.

The haul the morning after!
